One of the biggest compromises when it comes to buying an electric scooter is sacrificing weight for range. The heavier the scooter, the further you can generally go, as it packs in more batteries. But once you get to where you’re going, lugging it up a flight of stairs can literally become a Sisyphean task.
The NIU KQi Air is the exception; thanks to a carbon fiber chassis, it’s both lightweight, yet delivers a comfortable ride and a long range. And, it’s got some other niceties, such as turn signals and anti-theft features. While its asking price isn’t cheap, it’s the best electric scooter you can find.
